PEORIA, Ariz. 
Catcher Yasmani Grandal will keep a low profile at the Padres’ spring training camp until after he meets with teammates after the full squad reports Saturday.

Grandal, who reported with the pitchers and catchers Tuesday, will open the 2013 season on a 50-game suspension after testing positive in September for the performance-enhancing drug testosterone.

Two weeks ago, Grandal’s name surfaced in an investigation of the Miami-based Biogenesis anti-aging clinic that has been linked to 12 baseball players, including three — Melky Cabrera, Bartolo Colon and Grandal — who drew suspensions for using PEDs.

Grandal likely will meet with the media after he addresses his teammates.

Grandal is allowed to participate in spring training drills and can play in minor league spring training games. He cannot play in major league exhibitions.

Notable

The Padres will have a club record 67 players in their spring training camp. There are 40 players on the major league roster, 25 free agents and two players on the restricted list (Grandal and left-handed pitcher Jose De Paula). The Padres had to build a three-locker annex in their Peoria clubhouse.

• Thirty-six of the 37 pitchers and catchers invited to camp reported Tuesday. The only missing player was De Paula, who failed to reach the United States all of last season because of visa problems. De Paula is expected to report Thursday.

• The 67th player on the spring training roster is shortstop Jeudy Valdez, who was designated for assignment last week when the Padres claimed right-handed relief pitcher Faustino De Los Santos. Valdez was re-signed as a minor-league free agent with an invitation to spring training after he cleared waivers.

• Pitchers Jerry Sullivan and Jason Ray won’t be throwing at the start of spring training. Padres manager Bud Black said both reported to spring training with tender arms after their winter throwing programs.

• Correction: The Madres voted Alexi Amarista the Newcomer of the Year, not the Padres as reported Sunday.
